This week, Diana Ross, Jelly Roll, Big Sean, Jack White, and other major artists will headline Live From Detroit: The Concert at Michigan Central. This star-studded outdoor music event is executive produced by Detroit native and rap legend Eminem.

On Monday, June 3, Michigan Central revealed the impressive lineup, featuring special performances by Common, Fantasia, the Clark Sisters, Kierra Sheard, Illa J, Melissa Etheridge, Theo Parrish, Slum Village, and Sky Jetta. Additionally, there will be some "surprise special guests."

The grand reopening of the formerly abandoned Michigan Central Station, following a six-year restoration by Ford Motor Company, will feature performances by some of music's biggest stars.

“We wanted to celebrate the reopening of Michigan Central Station in style and make it a night to remember for Detroiters and people watching around the world,” said Bill Ford, executive chair of Ford, in a statement.

“I am honored and grateful that so many of Detroit’s musical legends, sports heroes, artists and innovators are joining us to celebrate the city we all love and the bright future we are creating together.”

The Michigan Central concert aims to “bring to life the spirit and soul of Detroit” through an impressive lineup of musical performances, short films, and appearances by local leaders and creators, “telling stories of innovation and culture from around the city and the region.” 

Besides the performers, the star-studded Detroit program will include "cultural legends" and presenters such as Mike Epps, Sophia Bush, Detroit Lions icon Barry Sanders, and NFL stars Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The sold-out event is scheduled for Thursday, June 6, and will be streamed exclusively on Peacock at 8:30 p.m. ET that same day. Additionally, NBC will broadcast a one-hour primetime special on Sunday, June 9, starting at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
